I'm okay with using it as a parts car because I have a Turbo Legacy waiting in the wings (once we get the downpipe and a couple of other misc. parts.) So, I'm not terribly attached to the car. I told the guy that I had a leaky trunk anyhow and was planning to fix it anyway, and he just laughed. He wasn't a jerk, so no one should really be talking bad about him. He did try his best to miss me which is why the damage is isolated to the left side of the car only. Him: Me:

Sweet RX coupe on the Alsea highway
Honda's 86 Brat replied to Gloyale's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Obviously isn't the one you saw, but you could buy this one that I found on CL! http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/car/474442490.html -
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped in any way with #8. This was only my second show and I had a great time! I must say I think you all did a terrific job. And to all the sponsors, thanks for sponsoring, without sponsors, things aren't as cool! I enjoyed it a lot and I can't wait for next year! Bring on that mud!!!

We just purchased this 1990 Legacy today! The guy says it's a LSi, but it's badges are taken off, it doesn't have height control, no leather, no electronic climate control, etc. We are pretty sure it's an LS... any comments on that? It's got 262k on it, runs like a champ! It needs an axle and a tune up, oil change, and probably a clutch pretty soon... drives kinda funny. We'll bring it up to WCSS8 for those who want to see ~Andrew & Jess~

Honda's 86 Brat replied to The Korean's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
I thought that was the greatest - the poor guy, he must have been so overwhelmed.... Although, my favorite part was when Laura (maximumBRAT) & I played in the gravel! We showed Russ how it was done... hahahahahaha ~Jess -

Coping with a Subaru Addict
Honda's 86 Brat replied to mcbrat's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I have always been a fan of cars. Never really Subies until I met Andrew (THANKS!!!) The honest to God truth - My brother borrowed Andrew's car from Russell one day, and I fell in love with the car before I even KNEW Andrew. So it was fate! Now, we fight to see who can see the Subies first, whoever yells parts usually is the winner. Me, I usually say SUBIE!!!! Whoever was talking about giving your woman her first car. Andrew did it, and I have driven it like twice... But I won't get rid of it. It's the same year I was born, and it's the best little car around! -
Tricks/Tips for an 87 GL
Honda's 86 Brat replied to blacklabel's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
You can make it sound extra throaty by cutting the bottom of the airbox out. Andrew did that to his Turbowagon and it made it sound nice. All you do is take a sawzall, or a dremel with a cut off wheel or something and cut the bottom of the airbox off, leaving the lip that the air filter sits on. -
(this is Andrew) I actually have heard that about 20W-50 as well, but I've heard for some reason it's not as bad??? I dunno.. I was also told that if you change your oil every 3000 it is not really that much of an issue.

And gone are the days when cars had like six wires going to the engine, and only a few problems would make the car not run at all, and the home mechanic can maintain his brand new car with only a small set of tools.. I've never been a huge fan of fuel injection, but it is more efficient than a carburetor (Although I like the original Bosch CIS because it is efficient AND simple..) Whoops.. Just realized Jessica forgot to log out, so this is Andrew talking lol

Very nice looking, Jeff I would be more than happy to post some somewhere down here and around Albany and the nearby piddly towns if needed. Let me know ~J

Anyone got a donor xt and cutting skills??
Honda's 86 Brat replied to xtlover's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I know it's far away, but here in Corvallis at B&R, there's two xt's. One is white and one is light blue, if this helps any. They didn't look too mangled from the parts I saw, I might have missed something though... Ask Caboobaru or Hondasucks, they prolly inspected more than I did. -
you've got to see thi one
Honda's 86 Brat replied to shanonsf's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Is that thing street legal??! That is really cool looking... I can just imagine the different looks you might get from some people... -
